Application of Self-Efficacy for the Regulation of Coping Styles and Mental Healt in Disaster Education

Abstract:

This study was to investigate the effect of self-efficacy on coping styles and the regulatory role of mental healt in the disaster nursing education of nursing undergraduates to strengthen the education of mental healt in them and improve their abilities to cope with disaster relief. 403 nursing undergraduates who had passed the assessment of knowledge and skills related to disaster relief were chosen to receive a questionnaire survey. GSES, CSQ and PHI were applied for the correlation analysis and multiple hierarchical regression analysis. The results showed that self-efficacy has a significantly positive prediction effect on the mature coping style. In the prediction of coping styles based on self-efficacy, SOM, ANX and HMA played a regulatory role. It is concluded that students with higher self-efficacy were inclined to adopt the mature coping style, and the somatotization symptom and emotional state of mental healt can play a significant regulation role in the influence of self-efficacy on coping styles.
